### 3/5 — Great idea but App needs improvement

*2019-01-13*

I bought the unruly splats as an active game for my kids. The concept is great but the app still needs some Improvement. I have a large iPad Pro and the tutorial text and menus do not display fully on the screen meaning that it’s impossible to read all the text.
